Bring your Thesis statements, laptops thinking caps and snacks. We'll brainstorm quotes and ideas, practise writing to deadlines and start syrnthesising and evaluating the wealth of knowledge you have accrued to this point. We will continue to work on these skills up to your HSC to ensure that you have at least three solid, flexible and detailed practise essays and creative responses up your sleeve when you walk into your exam.
For those who are interested - Ms. Au's wedding yeasterday was beautiful - I'll show you photo's when I get them!

Hi ladies,
I'm still missing Fancy reflections from everyone but Jacintha and Courtney . If you're having trouble please bring me your usb and I'll upload it for you. Either way please get them there asap - it's been three weeks!
Also, the Powerpoint Presentations need to go on the Romanticism Quotes resources and linkis page please. I'm missing work from Marilee, Scarlett, Lydia, Laurie Anne and Jacintha. This will be invaluable in developing your thesis and it's part of your coursework.You've had sufficient time. Please upload as soon as possible

Hi guys,
only a leetle week and a bit to go until you get to see me again!! ( I know you're excited, don't pretend otherwise!) I've posted some very good links over on our blog, make sure you check them out. While you're here though remeber to post up your Ancient Mariner summaries on the 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner Summaries page'. Try to keep them in chronological order ( ie, write the part you've worked on at the top then put it in the correct place in the list. 1 and 5 are up already so parts 2-4 need to go between 1 and 5) Easy Peasy
